Slow Fishing

Slow fishing on the flats. Few fish around and I had to search for the clean, clear water. Found a single fish this morning, which refused the crab. Second half of August is usually better, but the focus also changes toward bonito and albie fishing.

Bonito Jigminnow Revisited

Tying some of my jigminnows in natural colors...lots of silversides around. Old favorite right here, size 1/0!

Foggy Flats

Worm Gurglers

Saw some birds feeding on worms while flats fishing this morning, so revisiting classics... These have a foam tail extension to minimize fouling.

Crab/Mole Crab Fly

Mole crab shape, green (or tan) crab coloration. Hook size 2.

More Shrimp and Stripers on the Flats

While I caught some fish, there were very few around. Prime conditions this week, though.

Home Fishing (part II)

Morning tide, fog and stripers!

Klinks

Tying some smaller Klinks...even though I like to fish larger dries when I can!

Home Fishing

Finally getting good! Good current, swinging flies... Observed multiple pods of sea herring around.

Three Favorite Dry Flies From My Recent Trip

Both caddis and mayflies hatches were prolific during my recent trip. I fished imitations for both insect groups, but fish seemed to key on caddis most of the time. These were the most productive dry flies...

Saltwater 7wt Fly Rod

Completed and ready to be tested soon!

Fly Fishing in Serbia (part II)

Just for fun, I used my old Canon S100 point and shoot camera for some fishing photos in Serbia. I believe they have more of an "analog" feel, than my latest phone pics!
